A bomb calorimetric experiment was run to determine the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol. The reaction is The bomb had a heat c

apacity of 490 J/K, and the calorimeter contained 730 g of water. Burning 4.40 g of ethanol, resulted in a rise in temperature from 16.8 °C to 20.5 °C. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol, in kJ/mol. (The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g ⋅ K.) Enthalpy of combustion = kJ/mol

Answer:

The enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat  capacity and the temperature change. Working with this equation, and assuming no heat is lost to  the surroundings, we write :

qcal= Ccal × ΔT= 490 J/K × 276.7 K= <u>135,583 J</u> = 135.58 kJ

Note we expressed the temperature change in K, because the heat capacity is written in K.

<u> Now that we have the heat of combustion, we need to calculate the molar heat.  </u>

Because qsystem = qrxn + qcal and qrxn = -qcal, the heat change of the reaction is -135.58 kJ.

This is the heat released by the combustion of 4.40 g of ethanol ; therefore, we can write  the <u>conversion factor as 135.58 kJ/ 4.40 g</u>.

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g, so the heat of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol is :

molar heat of combustion= -135.58 kJ/4.40 g x 46.07 g/ 1 mol= -1419.58 kJ/mol

Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol in kJ/mol is -1419.58  kJ/mol.

What is the mass, in grams, of a 12.0cm³ sample of aluminum? The density of aluminum is 2.70g/cm³
Levart [38]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>32.4 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of aluminum = 12 cm³

Density = 2.70 g/cm³

The mass of aluminum is

mass = 2.7 × 12

We have the final answer as

<h3>32.4 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is the freezing point (in degrees Celcius) of 4.14 kg of water if it contains 235.1 g of butanol, C 4 H 9 O H
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molal freezing point depression constant of butanol Kf = 8.37⁰C /m

ΔTf = Kf x m , m is no of moles of solute per kg of solvent .

mol weight of butanol = 70 g

235.1 g of butanol = 235.1 / 70 = 3.3585 moles

3.3585 moles of butanol dissolved in 4.14 kg of water .

ΔTf = 8.37 x 3.3585 / 4.14

= 6.79⁰C

Depression in freezing point = 6.79

freezing point of solution = - 6.79⁰C .

How to balance the question?​
umka21 [38]

Answer:

CH4 + 2O2 —> CO2 + 2H2O

CH4 + 2O2

C = 1

H = 4

O = 2 ×2 = 4

__o_o___

CO2 + 2H20

C = 1

H = 2 × 2 = 4

O = 2 + 2 = 4

So ; 1 C , 4 H , 4 O

I hope I helped you^_^
